Criteria

Is it really appropriate to list a select few brands? What's the criteria here? --71.203.34.148 (talk) 18:47, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Error

'I am not really any expert on coffee, but there seems to be minor error here. Under Cafe Latte the article says that the proportions should be 1:1 with coffee/espresso and milk. While just below, in the category Cafe Mocha the article says that the proportions should be the same as in Cafe Latte, with one third espresso. Maybe someone could enlighten us on this and possible edit the article?'KasperOlesen (talk) 07:38, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Irish Coffee?

The article states that an Irish Coffee is a combination of (for some strange reason) specifically Bailey's Iirish Cream liqeur and Coffee. From my experience, Irish Coffee is a combination of Irish Whiskey, Coffee, Brown Sugar and Cream. (165.72.200.11 (talk) 07:14, 12 January 2011 (UTC))

As is mine. I think the confusion comes from the combination of whiskey and cream - in this instance the two are separate ingredients added to the same beverage. I've fixed the reference to be more accurate. GRAPPLE X 23:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Antoccino and Espresso Romano?

Who ever included these two? Where are they from? I just found, for Antoccino, a couple of sites which cannot be considered a reliable source: Antoccino has no meaning at all in Italian language ("priceless" simply is "senza prezzo"). Roman colleagues assured me that Espresso Romano cannot be found in Rome. I then modified the voices, to point out that they have nothing to do with Italy (because some site is already taking them as typical Italian coffees). I would also suggest to give some reliable source about, or to remove them. Filippo83 (talk) 09:24, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Indeed, many entries in the page are in need of sources. Looking around the web, I found many blogs and forums which repeat the bit about antoccino meaning 'priceless'. Some are very snobbish about it, which is kind of amusing since it's completely false. Seems like there are a lot of false etymologies involving coffee. I couldn't find any solid sources for antoccino, but I did find a very minor one for espresso Romano. The source didn't explain where the drink is from, but at least the folklore seems to agree that it's not a known practice in Italy. A common folk-theory suggest that it was common with American troops after WWII, (similar to Americano, which is false) but I didn't find any reliable sources either way.
